Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate middle school parents’ attitude towards extracurricular sports activities according to some demographic characteristics. The data for the study was obtained from parents of a public school in Aydın Province, in Turkey. To measure parents’ attitude, “The Parents’ Attitude Scales Towards Extracurricular Sports Activities” was used. This scale includes three sub-dimensions: personality development, academic perception, and social support. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and non-parametric tests were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that parents’ attitude towards extracurricular sports activities were seen to be at a very good level in all dimensions. In demographic variables, only income groups and educational degree groups had significant differences at the p<0.01 level for all of the sub-dimensions. Results indicated that parents’ approach to extracurricular sports activities plays an important role on students’ participation in these activities.
